Checking activity
I'd like to make the script check for active users, but this may require many api requests... /w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&format=xml&uclimit=500&ucdir=older&ucprop=timestamp&ucend=2005-03-19T00%3A17%3A19Z&ucuser=Example%7CPC-XT%7C... could check for recent activity, possibly continued several times, then /w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&format=xml&uclimit=1&ucdir=older&ucprop=timestamp&ucend=2005-03-19T00%3A17%3A19Z&ucuser=Example for each name not found in the above, where ucend is the earliest time considered active. Relevant namespaces etc. could be selected, as well. I'm still playing with this. —PC-XT+ 06:47, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
